Joey Gallo's Home Runs Already the Talk of the Town as Rangers Look to Future

No, really.

Matt Hicks, the skilled voice who works alongside Hall of Famer Eric Nadel in the Texas Rangers' radio booth, chuckles about this. You see, most of Gallo's home runs sky so high and travel so far, they carry the hang time of something off the foot of an all-pro punter.

It is the nightmare of every radio man, of course, to call a home run and then watch the moon-shot fly ball land into an outfielder's glove at the fence. So just in case, when Gallo launches one, Hicks finds himself digging for those extra words to fill those extra couple of seconds before splashdown.
